Tuesday, January 25, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Soaring Ha vks challenge Blue Wolverine netters will ts in NCAA indoor championships By MICHAEL OLIN For the first time this year, Coach Johnny Orr of the Wol- verine maplemen will be able to start a center at center. Ken Brady, the 6-10 pivotman who has been hampered by bone chips in his knee all year, will anchor the Michigan front line of John Lockard and Ernie Johnson as the Wolverines take to the court in search of their fourth Big Ten victory against one defeat. The hoopsters play host to- night to the Iowa Hawkeyes, who last Sunday upset fifth ranked South Carolina by a 91-85 margin. The Hawkeyes, who led in that game all the way, were paced by 6-3 guard Rick Wil- liams. Following in the footsteps of the graduated Fred Brown, the transfer from Fort Dodge Junior college scored 40 points against the Gamecocks hitting on 15 of 19 from the floor. Depending on which of the two receives the starting nod, either Wayne Grabiec or Dave Hart will be assigned the task of guarding Williams. The Wolverine man-to-man defense is tailored to stopping the good long range shooter, and Michigan's success against the Hawkeyes will depend in large part on their ability to contain Williams from the outside. Iowa is not lacking in inside strength either. Kevin Kunnert, the 7-0, 231 pound center has been more than imposing so far this year. In addition to snag- ging 14.1 rebounds Der game, the junior from Dubuque is the out to lunch mort noveck Avery Brundage strikes.again AVERY BRUNDAGE is back on the warpath. The aged presi- dent of the International Olympic Committee arrived in Tokyo last night ;determined to root all traces of professional- ism from the Winter Olympics, even if it means killing the 3ames. But while Brundage. is always screaming about commer- cialism in sports, this time he might cause more than bad publicity. He had decided that certain Olympic skiers should not be eligible for the games because they display the name brands of manufacturers on their skis. According to him this makes them professionals and thus not eligible. But the International Ski Federation says they are eligible. And the ISF has said that it will not allow Brund- age to ban athletes from the Olympics. Instead they will pull out of the games and hold a World Skiing Champion- ship of their own. And the Japanese hosts have said they were planning to hold the Olympics, not a World Championship and that the skiers must stay. So Brundage is in a bind. He wants to ban about 40 ath- letes. The ski federation will pull out if he does and the Japa- nese will be more than a little upset. And it might end the entire Winter Olympics because several million dollars worth of TV contracts are tied into the skiing events. Brundage might like to think that athletics has nothing to do with money, but the Olympics are expensive and without TV they are dead. Actually the dispute is not new. Brundage brought it up*in 1968. The solution then was to grab the skis as soon as competitors finished a race so that the name brand could not be seen on the tube. For the summer Olympics he decided that shoes must be made without any identifying marks because he was upset about the rivalry between Puma and Adidas. A similar step could end the dilemma again this year, but thee is talk of just totally ignoring Brundage and his rulings. And in the end this might be the best idea. For the uninformed, Brundage is the last man in the world who believes in the purity of sports. He thinks that the Olym- pics must be totally untainted by commercialism. If he could, Brundage would take the athletes back two millenia and have them compete in the nude, the way the Greeks used to do it in the Acropolis. But unfortunately Mr. Peabody's time machine is out of order and the Olympics must be held in the present. And whether Brundage wants to admit it or not, commercialism and professionalism are a part of the game. Most Olympic ath- letes are professionals. If they aren't taking money from a manufacturers they are taking it from a government. Brundage tries to ignore the subsidies give nto most com- petitors by their countries, but he refuses to condone money from businessmen. But really there is no difference. The cash from Head skis is the same color as that from the French government. Either the athlete is a true amateur or not and though Avery refuses to see it, there just aren't any amateurs left. If a competitor is being subsidized by his government, either with a soft job or in cash, he is a professional. Since; its almost impossible to work and maintain the kind of training schedule one needs to win in the Olympics the vast majority of athletes are getting help from somewhere. It's just that some of the envelopes are hidden better than others. Brundage says that, "the Olympics are a sports event, not a business enterprise." But like most fanatics, he is slightly inconsistent. If the Olympics are not a business, then why does he sell the TV rights to the networks for huge sums. If he is allowed to take the money to stage the games, then the ath- letes should be allowed to openly take money to eat during the four years between games. No one has ever claimed that the competitors are getting rich from their activities. Their subsidies really aren't much over the subsistence level. But if NBC can make a fortune off the games then the athletes should be allowed to make a living. team's second leading scorer, with a 17.4 average. Operating on either side of Kunnert are a pair of Sopho- more forwards 6-9 Jim Collins and 6-8 Harold Sullinger. Neith- er player has been spectacular thus far though Collins is aver- aging in double figures and both are consistent on the boards. Having won five of their last six games, the Hawkeyes would appear to have momentum on their side. Iowa Coach Dick Schultz commented, "Momen- tum can be the most important factor sometimes.. But with (Henry) W 11m o r e getting stronger and Brady back in the 'lineup you can look for a tight ballgame." Schultz is obviously inclined to disregard Wilmore's poor first half showing against Northwest- ern last Saturday. In a first half performance that Michigan mentor Orr called "probably Wilmore's worst half in his Michigan career," Henry was held scoreless until the waning momeits when he picked up three quick points. Wilmore will start tonight's game at guard, only the second time he's been at that position all season, last Saturday having been the first. The switch, how- every, was not the cause of Wil- more's initially inept perform- ance, as he started the game at forward. In the second half, which he spent exclusively in the backcourt, Wilmore rebound- ed to score 12 points. Against the Wildcats, the Wolverines played as good a sec- ond half as they have all year. Much of the improvement can be attributed to Brady, who was sharp both defensively and of- fensively, though still somewhat off oni his timing. In addition, Brady's presence allowed both Lockard and John- son considerably more leeway to take shots, which Johnson did on his way to a 22-point per- formance. Lockard, who has been tena- cious on the boards all year came through in fine style again with 16 rebounds and 19 points. In another key Big Ten con- test.tonight, first place Minne- sota (4-0) will host second place Ohio State ,(3-0). The Gophers, who haven't won 3a Big Ten maple crown outright Isince 1919, sport the league's number one defense andgthe large front line of Clyde Turner Ron Behagen, and Jim Brewer which averages a hefty 6-9. - - - _ .. . .. .. - -.. ..

By RANDY PHILLIPS Four of Michigan's netters will be testing their talents this week against some of the top college players in the nation when they travel to Salt Lake City Thurs- day for the start of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Indoor Tennis Championship. The single elimination singles and doubles tournament will fea- ture most of the top players from last season's NCAA out- door team championships. Top seeded will be John Gard- ner from Southern Methodist, and second seeded will be Stan- ford sophomore Sandy Meyer, Reigning National Junior Cham- pion Raul Ramirez will be the third seed, and he now plays for Southern California. NCAA Singles Champion, Jeff Connors turned player this year and will not compete, and NCAA runner-up Roscoe Tanner will be competing elsewhere. The Wolverines entries will in- clude Tim Ott,- freshmen Jeff Miller and Jerry Karzen, and sophomore Kevin Senich. Ott was Michigan's number two player last season, and Senich played number five for the Wol- verine's Big Ten Championship team. Last season's number one and three players, Joel Ross and Dick Ravreby, will not be com- peting in Salt Lake City. Ross JOHN LOCKARD (45) outleaps Ohio State's 7-foot center Luke Witte (34) to bang home a bucket in the two team's first meeting this year, won by the Buckeyes 83-73. Both teams face tough opposition tonight prior to their rematch at Crisler Arena this Saturday. The Bucks battle the unbeaten Minnesota Gophers in Minneapolis, while the Wolverines face the Iowa Hawkeyes, victors over fifth-ranked South Carolina last weekend.

Eisner characterizes the competition as "very good."
